Hotel Development in NYC: 2014 to 2019

(1)

Welcome to New York.

This report covers 185 hotel properties that have opened since January 2014 or are currently in the development and renovation pipeline. They are located in neighborhoods and boroughs across the city. From the Bronx to Staten Island, the city continues to attract new developments in luxury hotels, boutique and lifestyle brands, independent and affiliated properties, ranging in size from just 14 rooms to over 900. The opportunities for any business or leisure traveler are immense and great options exist at every price point and length of stay. From one night to extended stay, from family suites to business class accommodations, from pod-like quarters to spacious penthouses, New York City has rooms to suit all travelers’ needs and preferences.

Today the active inventory for visitor accommodations stands at over 107,000 rooms with another 26,500 plus rooms in the short and long-term pipeline. This report contains 30 new entries and many updates since our last report (November 2015) which highlight the growing and excellent selection of lodging choices for the individual visitor and the travel and meeting trade to select when planning for a New York City visit.

Last year was marked by the continued dynamism in the hotel community, with 61 hotels adding over 5,000 rooms to the active inventory. Of note in this collection are the 1 Hotel Central Park, an eco-luxury flagship of a new brand, The Dazzler Brooklyn bringing the Fen Group hotels to the city, the New York Edition Clock Tower at Madison Square Park, the first Residence Inn by Marriott to open in the Bronx, as well as the newest luxury properties at the Baccarat Hotel, The Knickerbocker Hotel and the Park Hyatt. Select service brands are well represented with new aloft, Cambria Suites, EVEN Hotels, Fairfield Inn & Suites, Four Points by Sheraton, Hampton Inn, Hilton Garden Inn, Holiday Inn, Homewood Suites, Hotel Indigo, Hyatt and Hyatt Place properties, and Wyndham Garden hotels all making New York City home. Independent brands are also thriving in New York City and recent openings include The Paul, The Gregory, The Boro Hotel, Riff Hotel, The Ludlow, Hotel Hugo and The Paper Factory. Extended stay properties are also redefining what it means to visit New York City with the Q&A at 70 Pine Street and new Residence Inn openings.

International brands are also investing in developing their presence in the city and we will see a second Citizen M, The Esplendor Bossert, the Riu, the Whitby (by Firmdale), Virgin and recently the Pestana. Global brands are also finding good reason to build in the boroughs and neighborhoods where they will be joined by an exciting collection of local initiatives.

In the next twelve months the city will see the arrival of a new Four Seasons, the rebirth of the Intercontinental Barclay, two new Tommie hotels, the SLS Hotel and many independents. It is a great time to book a hotel stay in New York City.

On the long term horizon are a number of new proposals that will bring new properties to Harlem, Washington Heights in Upper Manhattan, Jamaica, Rockaway Beach and Long Island City in Queens, Bushwick, Red Hook and other areas of Brooklyn, as well as new developments across the Bronx. Information on these projects is limited, but they are listed at the end of our roster of new projects as developments to watch.
